Fig. 1 Adjusted survival curves based on the multivariable Cox regression for the composite endpoint comparing the groups “ascites control” vs. “persistent ascites”. Adjustment was carried out for mean PSPG post-TIPS, mean MELD and mean CLIF-C AD scores. CLIF-C AD score, chronic liver failure consortium – acute decompensation score; MELD, model for end-stage liver disease; PSPG, portosystemic pressure gradient; TIPS, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.
